A funny rape story?

I was watching 'The Sex Life of Twins' last night, a "light-hearted documentary" if you will on all aspects of sex and twins . I'd like to state that I find twins having sex, even crossing or suggesting it a bit weird and incestuous. It was purely for entertainment purposes.

It was on Virgin OnDemand in the "Rude Season" section.

Anyway, I want to raise a more serious and alarming point featured in the show.

It involved two brothers (whose names escape me), who were twins recounting a rather humourless antidote about their adventures in Ibiza or some other souless corner of the earth.

One of them claimed to have pulled a girl at a bar and taken her back and had sex with her. After his twin brother came back home, he told him to "take over" because he was too tired. He did, and the girl was unaware they had swapped.

Erm, isn't this rape?

It gets "better"... The next day at the same bar, the DJ got the two twin brothers up on stage and the girl they had "slept with" and revealed to her, in front of everybody that she had slept with both brothers without knowing. They say she "kicked off" and had to be escorted out or something and then they laughed their little rapist heads off.

Any thoughts?

That is a bit rapey, yes.

Yeah, sounds like rape to me.

If this was OnDemand, does this mean you had to pay to watch it?

Surely if they're bragging about it on film, and the girl knows about it, thenj she can get them charged with rape?

Most girls in them places are slappers, mind. That'll count against her.

Nope. They have lots of free porn, erm I mean TV shows.

The definition of rape. ('Rape Crisis')

A bit of Googling suggests that this would *not* be considered rape in at least two US states. I couldn't find any British precedent.

I've seen the twins on shitty shows like this before, I've found their names but can't find any other reference to them on he 'net, they are that z-list.

My opinion of your taste in TV shows is plummeting.

Actually, the opposite - Massachusetts and New York.

It really is last choice TV. Didn't get to sleep til 4am last night. There was nothing on "normal telly" and we watched all the good stuff on OnDemand. Sometimes watching these shitty cable TV shows, you find hidden gems and funny characters, good for character research in regard to writing. That's what I'm saying in my statement anyway.

They look like those characters that used to be on Harry Enfield, who were surprised at everything.
